On Friday, 6 November, Monkey Helpline received a call about a monkey aboard a ship in the harbour.
“We asked them to find the monkey then call us back so we could come rescue it. Unfortunately, they could not find it, so we thought it might have left,” said Monkey Helpline’s Carol Booth.
The following day, Booth and Steve Smit were called again as the monkey was sighted on the container cargo ship, Maersk Savanah.
“When we arrived we had to go through a security induction to allow us into the harbour. This took a long time and we were worried the monkey might have left by then. Fortunately, this induction means we will be able to rescue monkeys for the next year without any delays,” said Booth.
